E1 5b, 5a / 36 metres

Film: 43 minutes

 

Hard, sculpted granite sits proudly against the gold and purple of Dartmoor’s rolling hillsides.

Crystalline rock to bite into rubber or grate against soft skin, Aviation is a route to hone your granite technique.

Pushy to start and delicate to finish, a Dartmoor E1 that has stood the test of time.
